Sessions at Over the Air 2011 about Android on Friday 30th September

This talk focuses on how to produce Android applications that make users happy. It surveys a range of techniques for increasing performance, usability, and visual appeal. In particular, it covers designing applications to please users in the tablet environment.

During the session, I'll explore lot of useful tricks I use during my everyday life as Android developer. Testing, background tasks, smartphone and tablet optimization, avoid memory leaks, UI view management, good external libraries to take into account, mobile design patterns and some best practices I found.

This presentation will be about possible ways to connect embedded systems to the infrastructure in a wireless way. We will introduce the collaboration between Arduino and Telefonica I+D as well as the Arduino ADK board as two possible ways to communicate between your embedded project and the net.

David and Francisco will be bringing some GSM/GPRS prototypes and the equivalent in ADK boards to explore during the event. Participants who wish to work with these should bring their own Android devices.
